Chapter 82 Negotiations (2)
"It's okay if you understand this way," Yu Qiuping nodded, "How about it, what's the matter with Lord Sakuma?"
The incredible strange conditions of the Imakawa family made the three people at the city wall confused. It was a pity that they refused to agree. They agreed and were worried about the trap. As Yu Qiuping's enemy, Sasa Naimasa had just been defeated by Yu Qiuping once again, so he naturally rejected this cooperation the most. So he asked, "Hmph, God knows what Lord Yu Qiu's thoughts are? How could there be such good conditions."
"It's probably because I don't want to see more than a thousand people starved to death. Out of one person's compassion, I hope to help." Yu Qiuhei honestly told the truth in his heart, but he didn't expect the people of the Oda family to believe it. "So I hope the Oda family will not interfere with our relief actions, so I came to negotiate with the adults."
"Hmph, it's just nonsense." Sasa Naruta snorted coldly, "Mr. Yuqiu is really kind-hearted? He is also worried about the people of our Oda family. Who would believe that any samurai is willing to do this?"
"You have no conscience but it doesn't mean we have no conscience!" Omaezaki Nakashui, who had already been holding back his face, immediately shouted loudly when he saw the opportunity, "You Oda family are heartbroken and don't even keep the food for the people to survive. Isn't it like this for the whole family of the Oda family? I saw that these samurai who love the people in our Imakawa family were suspicious!"
A sentence from Mimaezaki Nakahide caused the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers of Imakawa family to shout ok. Sasa Naimasa at the top of the city gritted his teeth, his face turned red and white, but he could not refute such exaggerated words.
Seeing that Omaezaki Nakahide was singing too much, the Oda family could not come to Taiwan. Naoe Tada family hurriedly said, "Everyone from the Oda family is forced to do so. When the two armies fight, the people will inevitably suffer. Therefore, the Imakawa family hopes that the Oda family can allow the Imakawa family to help the people, and the two families can alleviate the famine together." This actually provides a step for the Oda family.
Sasa Naimasa had to say something else, but Sakuma Nobumo and Sakuma Nobuki who appeared around him seemed to be a little moved, but he was always unkind and said, "What if you put in a detailed work in these five villages?"
"This Oda family can rest assured that we are willing to accept the prosecution of a few military supervisors sent by the Oda family." Yu Qiuping said, "The military supervisors can follow the relief team and ensure that they will not install detailed works."
"But those people will naturally be willing to pay homage to you after they receive your favor." Sasa Naruta snorted coldly, "If you really want to help the people, give us the military rations and our Oda family will provide relief."
As soon as Sasa Narimasa made this statement, the Imakawa army surrounded by besieged cities immediately sounded booed. Mimaezaki Nakahide was furious and said viciously: "Why don't Lord Sasa say what he said just now? Listen to yourself. What is a foolish dream?" The sarcastic tone then changed his tone and angrily shouted: "Do you think our Imakawa family is Kaizi? You can just cut it off! Fame and fortune will both be gained by your Oda family?"
"This guy!" Sasa Naruta cursed fiercely, pulling out the bow and arrow from his waist, and was about to pull the bow and shoot at Mimaezaki Nakahide. However, before he could take action, a feather arrow came out of the string and quickly shot the bow and arrow in his hand, nailing the arrow directly to the battlement behind him. Sasa Naruta looked at the city in amazement, and saw Charlie bend the bow and arrow, looking at him with a vigilant look.
"Thompson, don't be impulsive." Yu Qiuhei hurriedly waved his hand to signal Charlie to put down the bow and arrow, and Sakuma Nobuge also grabbed Sasa Narimasa. Sakuma Nobumoto understood that Sasa Narimasa's conditions were too harsh and Yu Qiuhei would definitely not accept it. Although the people here may be bribed by the Imakawa family, this is at least better than the loss of Seonzawa Temple Village and the annihilation of the defenders.
Sakuma Nobumo hesitated for a moment and wanted to fight for another: "Before leaving, more than fifty subordinates were left in the Imakawa family formation. I don't know if they can be returned together..."
"Sir Sakuma, you're still arrogant!" Mimaezaki Nakahide cursed immediately, but after Yu Qiupi gave him a wink, he kept silent and stopped talking.
"Sir, please forgive me for your frankness." Yu Qiuping said in a deep voice, "The previous conditions have been very generous to the Oda family, and I cannot agree to the further conditions, otherwise how can I explain to the family supervisor?"
"Yes, Lord Sakuma." Naoe Tadaehei immediately understood Yu Qiuhei's words and said, "At the Imakawa family, Lord Asahina and others all requested to attack the village directly. Only my family is willing to negotiate. If Lord Sakuma makes my family unable to come to Taiwan, there will be no chance of negotiation."
Sakuma Nobumoto briefly communicated with several retainers around him, and said again: "It's not just a matter of such a big thing that can be said. You still need to report to your lord. If Lord Yuqiu is willing to release his family's attention, then I am willing to promise to make it happen with your lord."
Although the return of the prisoners was within an acceptable range, Yu Qiuhei still pretended to be embarrassed and said hesitantly: "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. I don't know if the Oda family can make some other concessions."
"Please speak with Lord Yuqiu," said Nobumo Sakuma.
"Can you ask the Oda family to send a few people with status to promise to the residents of these five villages on behalf of the Oda Koichi Sui that they will not force their food to be collected?" Yu Qiuping quietly opened the trump card.
"This matter is very important, and we still need to report to the Lord." Sakuma Nobuma agreed hesitantly and asked the last question: "How can we make changes to ensure that the Imakawa family will withdraw the siege after the relief of the people?"
"I don't lie to Lord Sakuma," Yu Qiuhei said frankly, "Since we are the siege, there is no restriction to ensure that the Imakawa family will withdraw the siege."
"But I, Yu Qiuping, is willing to use my personality to guarantee. If the agreement is reached, I will definitely abide by the promise to withdraw the siege!" Yu Qiuping said loudly.
"How can such a blank check convince us?" Sasa Naruta asked in a low voice.
"Sir Sasa, are you wrong?" Mimaezaki Nakahide sarcastically said without diplomatic etiquette, "It was originally we surrounded you, and it was already very favorable to not attack. It was also your people who were helping you. Do you still want to guarantee the surround? Dream!"
Sasa Narimasa was about to do it again, and Sakuma Nobuki hurriedly helped his brother hold him down.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Sakuma, although you may still be worried." Yu Qiuhei solemnly promised, "But I, Yu Qiuhei, always do what he said." He made a gesture while saying that Imakawa's army in the encirclement immediately moved the roadblock and made a small gap. "In order to show sincerity, we are willing to let the adults send a messenger to notify Lord Oda Kosuke in the rear. At the same time, we also stop obstructing the messengers of the three villages in the south."
Shanzhao Temple Village has been cut off from the Oda family for several days. Such an action can be said to have shown enough sincerity.
"I believe in Lord Yuqiu when I am down." Sakuma Nobumo agreed. Even if I don't believe it, what can I do? I am the fish for the sake of the sword.
On the evening of February 9, Sakuma Nobumo reported the news of the negotiations to the Sanzhai and Danxiazhai. Danxiazhai passed the information to the Kuno Castle and the direction of Qingzhou Castle. The Oda family, who was originally preparing to mobilize urgently, breathed a sigh of relief and disbanded the half-sponsored troops.
On the morning of February 1, the messengers from the three southern villages also arrived at Danshizhai, proving that Yu Qiuping's promise to restore traffic was true. The three villages agreed to discuss peace with the Imakawa family, especially the guardian Sakuma Moritsu, Sakuma family. Because the troops surrounded were the Sakuma family. His messenger and Sakuma Nobuge who went back to report the message in person, tried their best to promote peace and persuade Danshizhai to agree to peace.
"After all, I have to make the decision by my lord." Tadashi Mizuno himself did not agree with the agreement, and felt that the Imakawa family must have other plans. He made a helpless expression to Sakuma Nobunaga.
"That's the case, then Yu agrees." As soon as Mizuno Tadashi finished speaking, Oda Nobunaga walked in with great strides. Behind him, the Maeda Taki family and other mother-robed people, and a few Mizuno family servants who had not had time to inform him.
"Your Highness (the main hall)! Why are you here?" Tadashi Mizuno and Nobuki Sakuma hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"Why? If something big happened, can't Yu come?" Oda Nobunaga snorted coldly, and walked around the two kneeling on the ground. Without giving them a flat order, he sat down.
"Your Highness (the hall) calmed down!" The two of them hurriedly kowtowed and apologized like pounding garlic.
"Forget it, get up." Oda Nobunaga took out a folding fan and gently tapped his palm. "Last year, the autumn harvest has been delayed, and this year, the spring farming cannot be delayed. Even if you don't know the purpose of the Imakawa family, you can only agree."
"Inuchiyo, have you seen that Yu Akihei?" Oda Nobunaga pointed out the name of the Maeda Taki family, "You go and finalize the details of the specific negotiation with him."
"Yes, lord!" Maeda Takiya bowed, "Is there anything you need to be careful about or is there any bottom line?"
"No." Oda Nobunaga said simply, "It's already a situation where people are slaughtered. The opposite side has put forward such conditions, and there is nothing to bargain."
"The Imakawa family proposed that the thing that the senior representative of the lord should promise, and the candidate for surveillance," Maeda Taki family said carelessly, "Why would I go there too?"
"Okay, then you go." Oda Nobunaga smiled, "You can guarantee whatever he asks you to guarantee. Anyway, Yu never talks about credit."
"Mr. Maeda, it's been a long time since I saw you, and your style is even better than the past." Toshishi Semine and Yuqiehei met the Maeda Taki family in the camp, and Yuqiehei personally went to the door to greet him. Due to the Maeda Taki family's generousness and the last time they saved Yuqiei's life in Chirishi Castle, Yuqiehei had a good impression of him.
"Haha, Yuqiu is better than the past. What did our Oda family say? The troops of the adults are like the flag team of the master of the Ministry!" Maeda Takiya also fell in love with Yuqiuhei and said with a smile, "Mayaka Yuqiu is a good soldier."
"Haha, why do you mention this? It hurts the harmony." Yu Qiuhei smiled, "I care more about whether it is Matsu Matsu's Matsu's more beautiful, or is the sweetheart who is better."
"Haha. You kid, I want to compete with you." The Maeda Taki family hit the chest, "Of course, my Asong is more beautiful, and you will know when the time comes."
"I'll talk about it later if I have the chance." Yu Qiuhei made a gesture of invitation, "Your Highness Sezuna is inside, please ask Lord Maeda and me."
"The plan is like this." Yu Qiuhei handed a stack of paper to the Maeda Tsubasa family. "There are five villages in total that need relief. There are also more than fifty prisoners from the Sakuma family. After the rescue is completed, the Oda family will allow them to go to one village to provide relief. After the relief is completed, the ten prisoners will be released. Until the relief is completed, the Sanzhao Temple Village will be rescued."
"No problem." Maeda Taki nodded without even looking at it.
"Hey!" Yu Qiuping saw that the carefully prepared plan was put aside, and the words he had thought for a long time were useless. "At least, we can bargain for a few words!"
"It's so troublesome." Maeda Takiya stretched, "I'll just follow you anyway."
